Hey Kurt. I wasn't being facetious (or whatever). I was just giving my view of how I like RP. I joined AoC beginning 2010 (only got going end 2010 because of Interweb probs), precisely because I wanted to RP with other people, instead of having my crazy solo stories from games such as BG2 and NWN2, Oblivion, Skyrim etc. So I understand what you mean, but PvP-RP is a core part of RP for me, partly because the game is centred on fighting in PvE and PvP, so fighting is part of RP for me.
The reasons you cite as the reason you joined RP-PvP server are similar to my own. I understand that the closure of the RP servers reduced the reasons to stay on a PvP server.
So yeah, questing and fighting with and against other RP players in a fantasy game is the whole reason for me playing an MMO at all.

Yeah, you are right that there is too much magic in AoC compared with REH’s world. But what the hey, it makes for interesting flame matches when the person on global has been owned (yet again) by the necro/hox/tos/demo/dt…etc.

For mobile Pit-quest-storyline-RP thingy, it looks as if Wednesdays are the most widely acceptable day, so I suggest on Wednesdays we start something. Galadh, Lady Elyssa and old Balorac. If you have a char on Fury, plz join us. We could use the extra arm.

Sooo...

Here's the (proposed?) background story:

Balorac was linked to some horrific murders in Old Tarantia, and before he could be apprehended left the city with whatever / whomever he could gather.

On the road he turned the Pit into a travelling company, setting up camp in the most remote areas of Hyboria to 'bring the fight to the people'.

The idea is this:
* create a setting with a number of regulars who travel with the company for RP purposes
* invite who wants to fight the champions
* move to different locations
* every Wednesday evening, starting next week

There will no longer be a League, because that just doesn't make much sense. There will be fights of more or less equal level and if there are not enough fighters we will RP.

How does that sound?

Back to the forum...

Sounds good. See you next week.
For RP purposes (and a bit of spice) we can also have some matches where no magic is used (e.g. barbs, conqs, guards, rangers, etc.), for e.g. in Cimmeria, and magic only matches for e.g. in Stygia.

See you there!
Blood and honour to the victors.

Folks,

Inspite of all my good intentions I fear I will not make it tomorrow, as my provider is taking his sweet time to deliver.

I expect to be back online in time for next week's gig.

Be well!
